As part of the 88th Northwest Water Carnival, an American Red Cross blood drive is taking place today at Grace Lutheran Church from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Red Cross is experiencing a critical shortage of blood donations this summer, a common issue during busy summer months. According to Red Cross spokeswoman Sue Thesenga, blood needs are constant, with someone in the U.S. requiring blood every two seconds.
The blood drive, hosted by the Detroit Lakes Jaycees, everyone who donates will be given a voucher for $15 movie tickets from Fandango, as well as get entered into our BASH Package* giveaway consisting of a pair of tickets to BOTH shows Friday AND Saturday, PLUS two Water Carnival Booster Mugs WITH buttons-A $300 VALUE!!
